| Kalitta planes have brought back wounded soldiers and took supplies to Americans in need around the World.

Yeah, Kalitta might have got paid for it...Greedy dastards....no better than Fireman, Cops and Soldiers. Anyone that goes INTO the danger should do it for free I guess....idiots

| Guess Connie is sorry SOB for letting his company get paid for 500 missions they flew during desert storm for the government. Nobody said he was doing for the fun,just pointing out that they did the job and seems others would not do. Somebody got to pay for the fuel and replacing the 27 planes( 20 old numbers here) Kalitta air has.
America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment.

| What the He!!? Comments? Step away from the pipe or bottle! Everyone one of you or us have/had a job and you make money at what you do correct? Would you do the job for nothing? Kalitta Air went in when others said no. I believe they still would have went in regardless. Almost time to exit this site like I did FB years ago. No I will not be missed..

Just saw that Kalitta Air went in with two planes to bring the US folks home that had been stuck on the cruise ship in Japan for the last two weeks.
Next time you see Connie or Doug, shake their hand and tell them thanks for helping out our fellow Americans when no one else would.
What both Connie's freight/charter services and Doug's charter services do mostly go unnoticed. They've both been very instrumental in serving our military's needs. They will fly into areas that most will not... Doug's planes are quite often at Dover Air Base helping to carry the fallen military members home... What their services do for our country in one day is far more patriotic than most people on this site could ever dream of doing in their lifetime for this country... Dan

| As someone who has spent his whole career in the Aviation industry. I can say that this topic is so far off base its hilarious. Connie Kallita, has a history of shady business practices, flying unsafe planes, and numerous FAA Violations. He isint flying to places that others refuse to go, that notion is frankly hilarious, and a bold fabrication of the truth. In fact there are numerous carriers, both private, and commercial who do the same jobs he does. He simply underbid the others, because he avoids proper maintenance on his aircraft. And had cheaper cost, as he used scab labor for many years. His pilots just unionized in 2018.So It wouldnt suprize me if he lost some of his government contracts next time around as his cost to do business has gone up greatly. It is true, that they do fly alot of our fallen military home, and they get paid for it, just like any of us would. But I wouldnt call any of it patriotic. Do some research on his labor practices, and his labor issues over the years, and then come back and tell me how patriotic it is. I dont begrudge anyone making a living, or running there business how they choose. But lets use some common sense and facts, before we going annointing someone a hero, or patriotic. |

Name one airline that hasn't committed an FAA violation. You're obviously a union coolaid drinker that believes that only a union member has the knowledge or ability to work on an air-frame. I know two people that have worked for him and couldn't have been happier with their long careers with Kallita.  ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ |
